How to Curl Your Hair Without Heat

Getting curls without heat makes you less prone to disadvantages like brittleness and hair loss, so I highly recommend using no heat hair curling methods when you feel like sporting curly or wavy hairstyle. Curls are always “hot,” no pun intended, everywhere today. If you want instant flair and glamour, curls are the way to go. Here are some ways on how to curl your locks without heat, for short and long hair!

1. An old shirt

Wash your hair the way you usually do. Blot it dry with a towel.

Cut a t-shirt in long strips from the neck to the hem.

The thinner the strip, the tighter the curls.

Take a small section of your hair, and roll the strip and the hair upwards till your scalp (or till as much as you want). Roll inwards so the curls turn towards your neck.

Tie the end of the strip to hold the hair in place.

Repeat this for all the hair.

Let your hair dry completely before removing the strips.

2. Braiding

Wash your hair the way you usually do. Blot it dry with a towel.

Make a center parting and tie two ponytails.

Braid the two ponytails and secure the end with a rubber band.

For tight curls, make more braids, for looser curls, make just one braid.

Let your hair dry completely.

Gently loosen the braids and shake your curls free.

3. Headband for retro curls

Wash your hair the way you usually do. Blot it dry with a towel.

Slip a headband around your head.

Take sections of your hair and wrap around the hairband until all the hair is within the band.

Secure loose ends with pins.

Let your hair dry completely.

Gently remove the headband and pins, and unleash your curls.

4. Sock bun

Take an old sock with the toe part cut out and roll it into a doughnut shape.

Wash your hair the way you usually do. Blot it dry with a towel.

Pull your hair into a ponytail at the top of your head.

Pull your ponytail through the sock. Wrap the hair and tuck it in securely.

Roll the sock to include more hair.

Continue rolling and tucking until you reach the top of your head.

Secure the bun with the help of clips.

Sleep in with the bun and loosen it in the morning for gorgeous tumbling waves.
